Installatron provides you with the security of automatic backup copies to safeguard your website during updates or essential changes. However, these backups can take up space in your hosting. At Sered, we take care of your data by keeping daily backups for the last 7 days, stored externally. If you ever find yourself in a critical situation and need to restore a backup, you can contact us through our chat or send us an email to [email protected]. You can also follow our guide to recover backups with JetBackup5. This way, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your data is backed up and protected.
